7. The city government shows, perhaps more clearly than many other
phases of city life, the extent to which the city has revolutionized
social life and has changed the habits and attitudes of the people. In
the city government we can see the various local, national, cultural,
and interest groups attempting to exert their influence. In the city we
see the political boss as a typical product of an anomalous situation.
Here we find such phenomena as non-voting, the clash between local and
occupational groups, and many other disharmonies between the needs of
the people and the institutions that are present to satisfy them.
